As the NBA playoffs heat up, momentum is everything. Teams are battling for their spot in the conference finals, and with every game, the stakes get higher. For bettors, finding those edges in key matchups is crucial. Today, we’re diving into two games that offer solid betting angles based on recent trends and performance metrics.
Yesterday wasn’t what we expected, going 0 for 2. We liked the over 211.5 in the New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics game, but despite another 20-point comeback by the Knicks, the total fell short as New York pulled off a 91-90 win, stunning the Celtics yet again. In the Western Conference, we were on the Nuggets +10.5, but Oklahoma City dismantled Denver with a historic 149-106 blowout, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 34 points in just three quarters.
Now, let’s bounce back with today’s picks.
Golden State Warriors @ Minnesota Timberwolves – We like over 201.5 in this game to cover. The total has gone OVER in 8 of Golden State’s last 12 games when playing on the road against Minnesota. Expect the Warriors’ shooters to heat up and the Timberwolves to keep pace at home.
Golden State Warriors (+10.5) @ Minnesota Timberwolves – We like the Warriors +10.5. Golden State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games against Minnesota. Minnesota is 10-5 ATS in its last 15 games, but the Warriors’ recent form suggests they can cover the spread.
